I could be wrong, but I sort of doubt its an apex seal, John. 
Please don't be wrong, Ed.

I don't think so, but thanks for the list of things to check. My list was empty.
One symptom that caught my attention is the MAP reading. At full throttle it bounces around 30/31. It goes down normally on throttle reduction. It was always very steady (and went up and down with throttle). Helpful clue???
 
Is it running incredibly rough?   
Not incredibly rough, no. Just VERY sluggish.
 
John (what me? frustrated?)
